Boys and Girls were ousted from the playoffs after losing 58-50 to Bayside earlier in the second round of the playoffs. In girls varsity semifinal action, Murry Bergtraum (Manhattan), seeded No. 2, were 53-42 quarterfinals winners over No. 7-seeded Grand Street. They will line up against Curtis, the No. 3 seed, in semifinal action at CCNY.
